Canon
Pixma printers support several types of paper, including photo
paper. Photo paper is used for printing digital pictures because the
quality of the paper is higher than standard printing paper. Since

paper has a specific printing side, you must insert it into the
printer correctly to ensure a proper printout. Load your photo paper
into the Canon Pixma correctly for high-quality printsTurn
on the printer and press the Paper Feed switch until the Auto Sheet
Feeder indicator light turns on.

Pull
up on the paper sheet feeder on the top and back of the printer and
slide out the
paper
support.

Take
a stack of no more than 10 pieces of photo paper and flatten the
corners, if they are curled. Curled corners may cause jams within the
printer.

the paper in the paper sheet feeder with the printable side of the
paper facing up. The printable side of photo paper is the shiny or
whiter side of the paper.

printers are more commonly used for personal computers, as opposed to
commercial use. These particular printers usually come with installation disks

it's easy to misplace those disks over time. Luckily, the Canon support site
provides software drivers for Canon printers, allowing users to install the
software without the disks.

You'll be using the wireless router to connect the new wireless printer to your home network so make sure the router is up and running. Most new computers and wireless printers are equipped with either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities. If your printer is not wireless you can purchase a wireless card that plugs into a USB port. 2. Select the Location of the Wireless Printer

The wireless printer should be set up in a place at home or in the office that is accessible to everyone and where there is ample space for paper, printer ink and other supplies. If you are using Bluetooth wireless you may want to give this some thought since Bluetooth printers have a smaller wireless range than Wi-Fi printers. 3. Enable Printer Sharing

The server computer's operating system must be informed that the printer you are adding to the network is a wireless printer. (The server computer is the one the printer is connected to.)

In Windows Vista, this is done by accessing the network settings in the Control Panel and then activating file and printer sharing in the local area network settings.

For Windows XP go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, "View installed printers or fax printers." Right-click on your printer and select "Sharing", then select "Share this Printer." Give the printer a name and click OK. 4. Add the Wireless Printer to any other Computers on your Network

The other computers on the network must also be set up for using the wireless printer. To do this in Windows Vista, open the Control Panel in the classic view and then open Printers. Right click on the printer that is going to be shared, and then open Properties. In Properties, check the box that allows the printer to be a shared device.

For Windows XP you will need to do the following:

· Open Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, and click on "Add a printer."

· This will take you into a wizard to find the printer you shared previously.

· Click Next until you are at the Local or Network Printer page.

· Select "A network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and click Next.

· Now click "Browse for a printer" and click Next. This will display your workgroup, the PCs connected to it and any printers that are attached to them.

· Click on the wireless printer you shared earlier and click Next. [This should install the driver automatically. If not, you may need to get the CD software that came with the printer.]

· Now click Yes to make the wireless printer the default printer for this PC (or No if the computer already has one attached to it).

· Click Finish. 5. Troubleshooting Wireless Printers

Both this computer and the one the wireless printer is attached to might need a reboot. If you're not seeing the computer it is attached to, double-check that all computers have the same network name: go to Control Panel, Performance & Maintenance, "See basic information about your computer." From there click on "Computer Name" and your workgroup will be displayed.

If you're not seeing the printer, make sure it's switched on. If printer still doesn't work, you may need to install the printer driver using the software CD that came with it.Read More...
